Here is what some people have been saying about Beyond Eden during it’s previews;
“Just want to let you know that I really enjoyed Beyond Eden. The music was beautiful, the performers so artful and the stylized setting certainly enhanced the performance!” - Shelley Hayashi, Concierge, Pan Pacific Hotel
“We have been subscribers to the Playhouse Theatre Company productions for over 2 decades. Several of our friends also attend on the same night - and tonight, without exception, we all felt that we had seen something very special indeed - we all enjoyed it immensely. Thank you all for a most wonderful production.” - A.M. and C. Lawrence, North Vancouver
“I absolutely loved the show!” - Carol Gomez, Concierge, Pacific Palisades Hotel
“We just wanted to say how much we enjoyed Beyond Eden last night. We have had seasons tickets for many years now, and the production last night is one that will stay with us. We were moved and loved the music and the play and the special effects – the totem pole was amazing as it was ‘coloured’ in. Thanks for bringing this play to us!” - J. & A. Livingstone

Spent a glorious afternoon with “Beyond Eden” today. I loved it from the first moment of that dramatic dance, wept when the poles were lowered, and will be going to the MOA again soon to see them in their current location. I attended Wilson Duff’s course in the 60’s, and then was transfixed with the photos he showed us of Ninstints. More recently have actually been there and found it magical and very beautiful, but was happy to know that some of the poles were preserved through his dedicated efforts. Hope you will do “Beyond Eden” again and soon. Thank you for a wonderful performance.
